Scribbly gum

A fairly common tree in this area. The "scribbles" are caused by a beetle larvae, I believe.

Eucalyptus haemostoma

Nice macros John! Sorry to hear about the incident with the ant, I hope you're okay.

Great shots! What do you wear when you crawl around like that? I don't have anything that will let me do that or I trust not to tear.

I just wear whatever I wear to go walking in the bush - there's not much crawling involved, as I use a long (200mm) macro lens and a tripod

Very nice - that ant really makes the picture.
